5 Tips for Choosing Modern Living Room Rugs

Introduction

If you’re looking for the perfect rug to add some personality to your living room, there are plenty of options out there. But how do you know which one is right for you? Fortunately, I’ve been doing this for a long time (and have even written about it before). Here are five tips for choosing modern living room rugs that will help ensure that your new rug fits seamlessly into your space:

Consider the style of your room.

Modern rugs can be used in both traditional and modern rooms, but they are more likely to be found in open floor plans. The most popular geometric patterns are those with a clean, geometric shape that is free of any loose threads or frayed edges. If you’re looking for something that will work in any style room, try picking up some rugs made from area rugs or wall-to-wall carpeting. These types of carpets can easily be cut down to fit smaller spaces by simply removing some material around the edges (like an 8×10 rug) so it fits snugly against the walls and doesn’t bunch up when you walk on it.

Searching for patterned rugs may seem like an impossible task at first glance—after all there are thousands upon thousands out there! But don’t worry: while finding one that suits your tastes might take some time, keep these tips in mind when shopping:

Don’t be afraid to choose a bold rug.

If you’re looking for a rug that will make your room stand out, don’t be afraid to choose a bold one. Bold rugs can add interest and color to any space, but they can also make a room feel big or open up the space in a small room.

A bold rug is an excellent choice if you have limited flooring options and want something that will add some life into your home decor. If you live in an apartment building with hardwood floors, then it’s best not to buy anything too loud since it may not match well with everything else in your living space (especially if there are other people living there). In this case, buying online is probably best since there won’t be any samples available when shopping locally!

Don’t be afraid to choose a patterned rug.

Patterned rugs are a great way to bring the room together and make it feel more modern. They can also help you choose a rug that matches the colors of your living room or dining room, or both!

If you’re looking for inspiration, here are some patterns we love:

• Geometric patterns like chevron and herringbone are timeless classics that will never go out of style (and they don’t cost too much).
• Geometric shapes like squares, triangles and rectangles add interest without being too busy.
• Abstract designs such as dots can be fun but still look elegant on a rug—just be sure not to use too many in one area because then it could get distracting!

Think about where you’re putting the rug.

When you’re deciding on a rug for your living room, consider where it will be placed. A rug should be placed in high traffic areas so it can withstand wear and tear from everyday use. You don’t want to have to replace your rug after just one season of use!

A nice modern-looking rug can add color and style to any room, but it’s important that the design complements the rest of your decorating scheme as well. If you have pale walls or furniture, choose darker shades so they pop against them; if you have dark furniture or walls (or both), go with lighter ones so they stand out more against your background colors. Doing this will help create an overall cohesive look throughout your house at once—and what better way than by using different types of rugs?

Make sure the material is durable and easy to clean.

When choosing a rug for your living room, it’s important to consider the materials used. Rugs made from natural fibers like wool or cotton can be more durable than synthetic ones. They may also feel softer and more comfortable on bare feet when you walk across them, but if you have pets or children who like to play with your rugs, they may not hold up as well over time.

Durable materials also make it easier for you to clean spills or other messes that might occur in the area where you’ll be placing your rug (e.g., food stains).

In addition to durability and ease of cleaning, look for rugs that are colorfast—that is, free from fading when exposed directly against light sources such as sunlight or indoor lamps with fluorescent bulbs—and fade resistant so that any discoloration caused by normal wear won’t show up immediately after being cleaned again later on down the road!

Conclusion

We hope these tips have helped you decide which living room rug is right for your home. Modern rugs can be hard to find, but they’re worth the effort! Do some research online and look at store displays before making your decision. Remember that good quality rugs are expensive, but they last much longer than cheap ones so it’s worth spending the extra money up front. Happy shopping!
